Old unsed blade, set in a new Japanese very light colour red oak "tsutsumi-guchi" dai recently. Probably White Steel #2. The jigane is high quality kamaji with lots of goma (sesame = black dots seen in the kamaji, which makes it easier to grind). Although everything is of highest quaty, the price is not as expensive because the blacksmith is unknown. |

Good quality laminated ura-gane (chipbreaker). Cheap ones are all steel and not laminated. |
